Impact statistics

Showing the impact we've had on families and communities across the UK is essential. It informs our volunteers, supporters and families themselves about the effectiveness of our work. Here are a few key statistics to explain, in numbers, how substantial our impact has been.

658

This is the number of children FTCT supported from 1 July 2017 through to 30 June 2018. This is an increase from 611 the previous year. Read more about how we help and meet some of the families we have supported.

£380,000

Between 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018, we awarded more than £375,000 in financial grants to the children of UK fashion and textile employees. This is an increase from roughly £325,000 the previous year.

£350

On average, our small grants are around £350 to fund essential household and children's clothing. We also fund more substantial sums for additional needs, which you can read more about here.

Before we start, just a quick note to say we know we’ve been a bit quiet on this front recently. We’ve had a few comings and goings over the last few months, so things have been a bit up in the air! But things are now falling nicely into place so, after this end-of-the-year round-up, we will be picking up our regular newsletters in 2019. So keep an eye out for all your favourite FTCT news!

Don’t worry if you are feeling nervous or apprehensive about applying. We’re a small and friendly team, so you won’t need to explain your situation lots of times to different people. Our grants team will work with you on your application and help with queries along the way.

I'm climbing Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, in February to raise money for the hundreds of families who turn to use for help every year.
